2 building community a new way of life ENCOUNTER CHRIST Faith is born from the encounter with Jesus. A personal encounter, which has touched my heart and given direction and new meaning to my existence. (Pope Francis.) Jesus entrusted us all with the same mission he himself had: to make disciples of all nations. This year, Catholic Community at Stanford (CC@S) is renewing its efforts in this regard, intentionally focusing on how we can be better disciples ourselves and then go out and make disciples of those in, and around, Stanford. We re calling it Encounter Christ and we re starting small like Jesus did by beginning with the undergrads. Six of our undergrads and the CC@S staff were trained this summer in how to grow disciples in an intentional and non-threatening, non-intrusive and non-preachy way. Our efforts are geared to making disciples the way Jesus did: through trusting relationships. The students will be forming small groups where they can discuss their experiences of Jesus, their joys and their questions. They will be meeting other students where they are spiritually, but also, where they are physically: in the dorms. Why? The point is to step outside our usual circle of friends and go to those who, while Catholic, may not be very involved in their faith, to those who may have lost interest in the church, and to those who are not Catholic but who might be interested in getting to know Jesus better. The students will go where people can actually see and meet them; in this way they have the chance to a start a relationship with them and to walk with them on their spiritual journey. We are committed to expanding Encounter Christ to the rest of the CC@S community, beginning next year. Our goal is to have all of our community engaged in making disciples in the same way: spending time with others, loving them, teaching them Jesus teachings, showing them through demonstration of our own lives the joy that following Jesus can bring. As Pope John Paul II said years ago: It is not therefore a matter of inventing a new programme. The programme already exists: it is the plan found in the Gospel. To learn more about Encounter Christ, Undergrads can contact Fr. Emmanuel Taylor (e4op@stanford.edu, ). All other community members can contact Fr. Xavier ( , xavierop@stanford.edu) new announcements Interested in Exploring the Catholic Faith?

Do I Belong? Sermon Series. September 20 & 27 and October 4 at all Sunday Masses. Are you longing to belong? Are you tired of being alone? Do you feel confident that you belong? Most of us wait on others to accept us. What if we did the opposite? The Gospels show us the way. To kick off the school year, we re offering a three-week series of homilies exploring the theme of belonging. Join us at any of our Sunday Masses beginning September 20.

National Medals of the Arts: On September 3, 2015, President Obama presented National Medals of the arts in conjunction with the National Humanities Medals at the East Room of the White House. This is the highest award given to artists and art patrons by the federal government. One of the recipients was our own Toby Wolff! The award, read by the President, awarded the medal to: Tobias Wolff for his contributions as an author and an educator. His raw works of fiction examine themes of American identity and individual morality. With wit and compassion, Mr.Wolff s work reflects the truths of our human experience. Congratulations, Toby! ** Gloria Mass From Age To Age Chris DeSilva Undergrads Encounter Christ: Sign up at Sunday Mass, today, September 27.
